Architecture
Building design has taken new leaps in creativity. There are almost no boundaries to what architects are bringing to new work. Building construction and those who produce the materials, structure and finishes are adapting to take on many new challenges. Picot plate roll machines are enabling this progression allowing the rolling of thin metal sheets and aluminum composite materials – like those from Alucobond and Dbond used to sheath many new builds. With wide distances between rolls and innovative 3-roll technology, Picot allows for perfect pre-bending and eliminates lamination damage to fragile ACM materials. For pre-formed 3D sheets with flanges, Picot machines are equipped withspecially made roll covers allowing flange in- or out-bending. Picot also recently introduced AIR – its new Artificial Intelligence Rolling control software that takes the risks out of any rolling project, delivering precise repeatable rolls every time.
Heavy Equipment / Transportation
Picot is on the cutting edge of innovation – satisfying the evolving needs of manufacturers of heavy equipment and transportation. Picot rolls buckets for many of the construction industries heaviest duty earth-moving shovels. With pre-bending capabilities better than 4-roll machines, heavy equipment manufacturers find less waste and better fits to welding fixtures.
Tank Trucks / Cylindrical Industrial Tanks
Picot is a trusted resource for manufactures of large cylinders and cones used across a variety of industries – from tanks for trucks moving liquids and grains across the nation’s highways, to efficient tanks for petroleum refining and alcohol distillation, to large water tanks at treatment facilities. Picot’s innovative 3-roll plate roll benders aligned with new AIR – Artificial Intelligence Rolling software, allow manufacturers to meet precise specification every time.
Aeronautics
Picot is leading the cutting-edge innovation in the fields of aeronautics and aviation with fully hydraulic and 100% electric roll bending machines dedicated to rolling aluminum and other industry metals. It has established processes and tailored machines to meet the requirements of manufacturers like Airbus and their many subcontractors. Picot’s 3-roll design eliminates lamination and delivers perfect pre-bending of both edges without returning the metal sheet.
